CLOTHES GUIDE FOR WRINGEBS.

Application filed July 26,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I," BERNARD T. FOLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Virginia, in the county of Saint Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Clothes Guide for Vringers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a guide to be used in connection with clothes wringers, said guide serving to direct clothes from the wringer so that they will fall properly into a tub or other receptacle provided therefor and will not tend to drop outside of the receptacle.

Another object is to provide a guide which is simple in construction and can be applied readily to either side of a wringer in position to receive the clothes from between the rolls.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in L the details of construction hereinafter de scribed and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings-- Figure l is a front elevation of a clothes wringer having the present improvement combined therewith.

Figure 2 is a side elevation, one of the brackets being shown in section.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33, Figure 2. 7

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a clothes wringer of the usual construction havin superposed rolls 2 and a drain board 3.

The present invention includes brackets t arranged in pairs, one pair being secured to each face of the wringer structure at the sides thereof. The clothes guide comprises side members 5 having longitudinal channels 6 in their inner side faces and upstanding longitudinal flanges 7. A board 8 is secured at its sides within the channels 6 and extends from end to end of the side members. Each side member terminates at one 1921. Serial No. 487,638.

end in an obliquely disposed abutment 9 and upstanding from each side member adjacent the abutment is an arm 10 terminating in a hook 11. The parts are so proportioned that by inserting the hooks 11 down wardly into the brackets of one pair the abutments 9 at the sides of the guide will press against the side portions of the wringer structure so that the guide will thus be supported in an inclined position as shown in Figure 2 where it will receive the fabrics as they are delivered from between the rolls 2. Thus if the wringer is secured to one tub the guide will extend over the next adjoining tub or container and will insure the proper delivery of the clothes from the wringer from which they have been removed to the adjoining container. The structure can easily be removed and placed at either side ofthe wringer.

What is claimed is 1. The combination with a wringer structure, of brackets secured to each face thereof, and a clothes guide including side members, a board connecting said side members, upstanding arms on said side members at one end, hooks on the-arms for engaging the brackets at one side of the wringer structure, and abutments at the base of said arms to engage the wringer structure and in connection with the hooks support the guide in engagement at one end With the wringer structure.

2. A clothes guide attachment for wringei's comprising side members having longitudinal channels in their opposed faces and provided with upstanding flanges, a board seated in said channels and connecting said side members, upstanding arms on the side members adjacent one end, said members extending downwardly at an oblique angle to said arms, hooks on said arms, brackets for engagement by said hooks and for attachment to the wringer, an abutment at the bases of said arms, said abutment and hooks being in alinement.

In testimony that I. claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

BERNARD T. FOLEY.
